Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a simple and less expensive female component for a mechanical refastenable fastening device (i.e., "touch and close fastener” or “hook and loop-type fastener”) which is conveniently used in mostly disposable applications such as disposable diapers, disposable operating gowns, disposable underwear and other clothing.
  • a mechanical refastenable fastening device i.e., "touch and close fastener” or "hook and loop-type fastener”
  • Hook and loop-type fasteners have been constituted of two components, a female component having loop-shaped female elements placed on the surface of cloth such as knitted or woven fabric and a male component having hook-shaped or mushroom-shaped male elements capable of engaging with the female element, the male elements being placed on the surface of another cloth.
  • the female component and the male component are pressed together in a face-to-face relationship to close the fastener, the two elements placed on both clothes engage each other to form a plurality of mechanical bonds therebetween. This engagement is utilized not only for clothing but also for various daily necessaries such as bags.
  • Conventional female elements which have been widely known are female components wherein multi-filaments or mono-filaments made of synthetic resins such as nylon and polyester are utilized and loops made up of such filaments are formed on a cloth for their support.
  • nonwoven fabric female component is inferior in terms of absolute engaging capability to the female component made up of knitted or woven fabric.
  • the advantage of the use of nonwoven fabric is not only that it has a high productivity but also that a constituent in a sheet form and a female element constituting the loop can be utilized substantially in one constituent component whereby it is possible to offer a very less expensive female component.
  • the nonwoven fabric female component would have a good characteristic that fraying upon cutting hardly takes place.
  • the present inventors paid their attention to this point, have conducted an intensive study for keeping the above engaging capability of a touch and close fastener (hook and loop-type fastener) made of nonwoven fabric, even having excellent advantages, and have succeeded in producing the present invention.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an art capable of preventing a female component from the reduction of its inceptive engaging force (engaging force at an initial use) after repeated engagements and to achieve and provide an improved low-cost female component for a touch and close fastener (hook and loop-type fastener) with highly advantageous characteristics.
  • the present invention firstly provides a nonwoven fabric female component for a touch and close fastener (i.e., hook and loop-type fastener) in which projecting loops are formed on one of the superficial sides of the nonwoven fabric, said female component wherein
  • a touch and close fastener i.e., hook and loop-type fastener
  • the present invention secondly provides a method for the manufacture of a nonwoven fabric female component for a touch and close fastener in which loops are projectingly formed on one of the superficial sides of the nonwoven fabric, said method comprising the steps of:
  • the female component (11) of the present invention is prepared by techniques which will be mentioned later in detail.
  • the female component (11) is equipped with loops (15) projected from a hydroentangled web (13) which is obtained by applying the above-mentioned hydroentangling.
  • a flat and smooth region (17) constituted by heat fusing fiber constituents can be formed on the surface of the hydroentangled web (13), the surface being different from the surface on which loops (15) are formed.
  • the flat and smooth region is set up there for reducing fluffs which are produced via drawing out the loops from the fiber web upon detachment by a male element (not shown in the drawings) during repeated engagements.
  • a reduction of the fluffs is not an effect which has resulted exclusively from setting up the flat and smooth region, but, preferably, it can also be expected when a fiber web is made up of heat-fusible fibers in an amount of not less than 50 mass %.
  • the heat-fusible fiber used herein includes conventionally known composite fibers wherein two or more resins each having a different melting point are oriented in a form such as side-by-side or core-and-sheath.
  • the fiber web used in the present invention may include not only a product obtained by carding short fibers, but also a spun bond nonwoven fabric made up of long fibers.
  • a part of the fibers constituting the hydroentangled web (13) is treated with a needle punching technique to form loops (15) projectingly, the loops (15) being constituting elements directly related to an engagement with the male elements. Therefore, in order to achieve an entangling force sufficient for actual use, it is preferred that the hydroentangled web (13) is made up of fibers where the strength of the single filament is not less than 2 g/denier.
  • the size of such a fiber is from 0.5 denier to 10 deniers. If a finer fiber than above is used, the loops are crest fallen due to a low rigidity of the fiber, whereby in some cases its engagement with the male component may be deteriorated and it may be difficult to achieve a sufficient engaging force.
  • the carded fiber is usually oriented unidirectionally along the production direction of the web (the web having such an orientation is called a "unidirectional web").
  • a unidirectional web is formed in a certain surface density depending upon the ability of a carding machine and, therefore, when one sheet of the unidirectional web lacks, for example, a desired surface density, the following two means can ensure its surface density:
  • a suitable female component for a touch and close fastener is selected from the above-mentioned two species, i.e., the cross-lay web and the crisscross web.
  • the weight ratio W (%) of a cross-lay web is from 30% to 100%, or more preferably from 60% to 100%, for the surface density of a fiber web used as a female component for a touch and close fastener.
  • the value in the fiber web prior to hydroentangling is substantially equal to that in the finally obtained female component for a touch and close fastener.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 are the drawings which show each of the steps for an embodiment of the method according to the present invention by way of a simplified schematic cross-sectional side view, similarly in Fig. 1.
  • the hydroentangled web (13) is manufactured, with a surface density corresponding to the design (refer to Fig. 2).
  • the surface density of the hydroentangled web is to be designed in such a manner that the surface density of the final female component product obtained by the step which will be mentioned hereinbelow is to be around 20 to 200 g/m 2 , or more preferably from 40 g/m 2 to 80 g/m 2 .
  • the surface density of the female component When the surface density of the female component is made less than the above suitable range, the nonwoven fabric constituting the component becomes non-uniform, and, in addition, the number of the fibers which constitute the loops may become small whereby there are some cases where it is difficult to achieve a good engaging force after repeated use. Further, when the surface density is made more than the above-mentioned suitable range, the thickness of the fiber web may become large prior to the hydroentangling and prior to application of needle punching, and, especially, it may become difficult to process the fiber web to the thickness direction thereof such as in the formation of loops whereby there are some cases where good engaging characteristics are hardly achieved.
  • the first step characteristic to the method of the present invention, i.e., a hydroentangling technique for applying hydroentangling to the fiber web (not shown) to form a hydroentangled web (13), is carried out by placing the fiber web on a conveyer net.
  • a hydroentangled web having a uniform entangled state can be prepared by generating high-pressure water jets of 0.98 to 29.43 MPa (10 to 300 kgf/cm 2 ) using plural nozzles with a nozzle diameter of 0.05 to 0.3 mm ⁇ on a conveyer net having openings of around 15 to 120 mesh, the nozzles being placed on a nozzle plate in a pitch of about 0.08 to 0.2 mm (pitch in the width direction for production).
  • the hydroentangling may be applied at least against one of the superficial sides of the fiber web, or may be applied against one of the superficial sides followed by against another superficial side.
  • the second step includes applying needle punching to the resulting hydroentangled web (13) from one of the superficial sides thereof (an example thereof is shown in Fig. 3 with an arrow "a") whereupon loops (15) are formed.
  • it may include either a method for applying needle punching to the hydroentangled surface side or a method for applying needle punching to a surface side different from the hydroentangled surface side.
  • the needle used for conducting the present invention there is no particular limitation for the needle used for conducting the present invention, but it is preferred to use crown barb needles in which the cross section of the blade thereof is triangular or nearly square, etc., and plural (e.g., from around 3 to 4) barbs are placed at the positions which are in the same distance from the top end of the blade.
  • crown barb needles in which the cross section of the blade thereof is triangular or nearly square, etc., and plural (e.g., from around 3 to 4) barbs are placed at the positions which are in the same distance from the top end of the blade.
  • a third step may be added after the formation of the above-mentioned loops, the third step including the heat fusing of the needle punched superficial side of the fiber web (the superficial side is a side where needles entered and no loop is formed) to form a flat and smooth region (17) (see Fig. 1) on the web.
  • This step may be conducted, for example, in such a manner that one of a pair of rolls encountering with a certain slit (gap) is heated nearly at the melting point of the constituting fiber (preferably, the low-melting component of the above-mentioned heat-fusible fiber) of the above web when the above web is passed between the rolls, followed by bringing the web surface having no formed loops into contact with the roll.
  • the third step may be conducted in such a manner that the fiber web is previously heated with a high temperature hot air, infrared ray, etc. and the surface having no formed loops is contacted to the roll or drum.
  • Female components concerning Examples 1 to 7 are made up of commercially available heat-fusible fibers (size: 3 deniers; fiber length: 64 mm; and core/sheath-type PP/PE composite fiber) exclusively wherein the fibers are carded and standardized to about 76 g/m 2 with regard to the surface density thereof to form a fiber web in which the weight ratio W of a cross-lay web was 100%.
  • This fiber web was treated with high-pressure water jets under various conditions to form a hydroentangled web, dried under heating to such an extent that no thermal influence was resulted on the constituting fiber, and subjected to needle punching using the above-mentioned crown needles under a standardized condition (needle depth: 10 mm and needle density: 50 needles/cm 2 ). After that, each of the webs was subjected to the above-mentioned third step wherein a pair of encountering rolls was used under the temperature condition of 140 °C to manufacture a female component.
  • the resultant female components are used as embodiments of Working Examples.
  • Comparative Example 1 no hydroentangling was conducted while the second step for forming loops and the third step for forming flat and smooth regions were conducted under the same conditions as in the Examples, thereby manufacturing a sample where the weight ratio W as above-mentioned was 100%.
  • a commercially available female component made up of knitted or woven fabric ("Take Care", trade name, Sumitomo 3M, Japan; manufactured by bonding a film (surface density: about 29 g/m 2 ; thickness: about 0.15 mm) to a base cloth containing loops (surface density: about 76 g/m 2 ; thickness: about 0.64 mm)) was used as a sample for evaluation.
  • Example 8 and 9 samples for evaluation were manufactured in the same manner as the above-mentioned samples, except that as a result of preparing a crisscross web containing a unidirectional web the weight ratios (W) of the cross-lay web were 60% and 30%, respectively, and that the surface density was different.
  • Table 1 shows the feature each of those eleven kinds of samples for evaluation and also shows the manufacturing conditions and the final surface density and thickness each for the samples where nonwoven fabric was used.
  • a method for evaluating an engaging force As a means for evaluating the engaging force between a male component and a female component for a touch and close fastener, the measurement in accordance with "Peeling Strength" as stipulated in “Test Method for Touch and Close Fastener” (JIS L3416) was conducted in the present examples.
  • Peeling Strength as stipulated in "Test Method for Touch and Close Fastener” (JIS L3416) was conducted in the present examples.
  • commercially available male component "3M CS200” (trade name; manufactured by Sumitomo 3M, Japan; where mushroom-shaped male elements were located in a density of 900 elements/square inch) and each of the female component samples given in Table 1 were cut in strips of 5 cm length and 2.5 cm width, respectively.
  • Example 7 it was noted from the comparison of Example 1 with Example 2 and also from the comparison of them with Example 7 that the relation between the firstly hydroentangled surface and the needle punched surface was not particularly limited when hydroentangling was applied to at least one side of the fiber web (in other words, a satisfactory durability was noted regardless of both cases where the surface to which high-pressure water jets were entered upon hydroentangling is identical with and different from the surface on which the loops were formed).
  • the application of the techniques according to the present invention can solve the problem inherent in a nonwoven fabric female component for a touch and close fastener, with a good productivity, i.e., the problem of reduction in the engaging force upon repeated engagements whereby it is now possible to provide a low-cost female component, with good characteristics, for a touch and close fastener.
